Yep.........the rules are typically English!

Jump through the hoops laddie!

I am from the UK and wish to return to fly there, I have flown numerous aircraft while in instrument meteorlogical conditions within complex airspace such as Kennedy International (JFK) to name but a few.

But, if I wish to fly back in the UK I have to start from scatch as a new boy?

We do not make the rules, we adhere to them, but someone somewhere in the JAA system should get real and make the conversion for experienced pilots a bit more practical and alot more realistic. There should be a governing body that regulates licence conversions and make them reciprocal and comparable in standards to participating countries worldwide.

Any good comments from experienced European pilots out there?

Fly Safe Guys.
